Brixen has got many wonderful and magnificent buildings to discover, but for sure one of the most beautiful treasures is the cloister of the cathedral. In no other place of the city you can feel the past so close as in this place of prayer, meditation and silence. The breathtaking frescoes in the vaults of the 14th century let the visitor dive into the religious, as well as the daily world and mentality of the Middle Ages. There you encounter not only the stories of Jesus and Mary but also the one of the elephant and even Charles the Magnificent.

A visit to the cloister makes every city tour an absolute highlight. This sight of first rank is open daily from 6 am to 6 pm. In the months of November, January, February and March (until Easter), it is closed from 12 to 3 pm. Free guided tours from Easter to All Saints ‘Day on weekdays at 10:30 am.
